Sue really cares!

Sue works her butt off. She really cares about what she does for her clients and there is not a single tenant I’m aware of in nearly 10 years that have had anything but really positive things to say about how they are treated by VZ and Sue in particular. Not sure how many other property rental managers might be able to say that. Thanks Sue for all your hard work over the years.

We have a rental property with VZ and recently contacted them to sell our property in Banyo. Michael and his partners and his office crew couldn’t do enough for us. they where great. The property was sold within a very short time on the market and for the amount that was estimated at the beginning of our negotiations. We are extremely happy the way it was handled and the continues updates that were provided to us. We still have the rental property with VZ and their management of that property is very well managed with regular updates. I highly recommend VZ for selling, buying or renting out your valuable property. Thanks again Michael and your partners.

Great communication

Michael was a great agent. He has a ‘no pressure’ approach to both buying and selling, which I think many clients appreciate. His communication was spot on and he was able to sell my unit for the asking price. I would highly recommend him.

My wife and I had the pleasure of dealing with Michael in the sale of our investment property. Michael, provided an extremely accurate estimate on the value of our property and guaranteed to sell the property within a range of that price, which he did. In all of my dealings with Michael, I found him to be extremely knowledgable, practical, honest and above all else trustworthy. Michael provided regular updates on the progress of selling our property and his marketing strategy and advice along the way turned out to be pure gold. I cannot recommend Michael highly enough and I would absolutely use his services again in the future.

16 April 2018

Michael sold me the property almost 20 years ago, managed the rental for most of that time, was always there to talk to about options, then generated a solid number of prospective buyers and sold the property within 2 weeks right in the estimated price range. He’s someone who knows his area inside out from decades of running his own agency there. He’s also someone who is easy to trust with your investment, and a nice guy to boot.

20 April 2018

We drove up a street and saw a for sale sign, surprised the agent said he would meet us there 1 hour later we didn’t have to wait for an open inspection.

We met Michael Verstandig at the appointed time.

He showed us through the door and said go for it I’m not going to harass you, we had a good look and then talked with Michael about a few things which led him to explain there was 2 offers to be submitted to the owner on Monday, this was Sunday. To our surprise Michael said he would give no indication at all about the other offers as he worked for the owners, I was impressed and said now there’s three.

I received a phone call on Monday to say our offer had been accepted, great news.

Michael did a great job for the owner I know this from the new neighbors who are friends of the owners.

My experience with Michael as the purchaser was also brilliant no problems at all, he even dropped the new house keys off to us after settlement with a bottle of wine to celebrate.

Buying a new house can be very stressful, Michael you made this a walk in the park Thank you.

Friendly, credible great agent

I recently purchased a house from Franco, from the first inspection to the house settling Franco was great to deal with. Very approachable, friendly, creditable, wasn’t pushy like other agents, he never once did the ‘this house is great agent speech’. Franco gave you time to look at the house and ask him any questions.

Honest and Genuine

We’ve known Franco and Michael for years now through buying and selling. They certainly don’t carry that Real Estate Sales stigma because I’ve never met more honest and genuine guys like them. If I know of friends or family selling their home I always tell them about VZ. Well done guys, you’re a credit to […]

You cannot ask for two more genuine gentleman in Real Estate like Michael and Franco. I first had the pleasure in buying a property from Michael 20 years ago now. It was this young man that changed my perception of a real estate agent forever. Michael has since sold all my properties for me and always provides his time and advice, nothing is ever too much trouble. I cannot recommend these two gentleman highly enough.

I could not recommend VZ highly enough. They do NOT charge for advertising, there are no gimmicks, no BS, no auctions, no inflated or deflated prices, just honestly and integrity.

I recently sold my property through Franco from VZ Real Estate and could not be happier with the result. Franco was very open and honest, his communication was outstanding and the results he achieved were fantastic. He hit the right price point and within 2 days of listing we had 2 firm offers. He quickly got both potential buyers to their top dollar and promptly finalised the deal.

Franco’s approach of honest and realistic price estimates, showing only qualified buyers through the property and regular communication paid dividends with a quick result at the top dollar.

If you are looking to sell your property, I could not recommend VZ Real Estate highly enough. I would not go anywhere else for any future property transactions.

Honesty and Integrity

Best of all he was able to achieve a record price for my two bedroom home. Click to read more...

After hearing all the horror stories of people dealing with real estate agents it was a pleasure to find such a down to earth and honest approach from Michael. He kept me informed throughout the entire process from the taking of the photos to the signing of the contract. Best of all he was able to achieve a record price for my two bedroom home.

I have no hesitation in recommending Michael and the team from VZ Real Estate

A Very Satisfied Customer

I rang Michael on Thursday asked him if it would be possible to sell my house and do you think it would take long to get someone interested. That Saturday he had a customer and with some more careful negotiation he accomplished a Great Price we could not be happier. I highly recommend his company […]

I highly recommend his company to look after your interests does not make a fuss but gives you a very honest opinion.

Thank you for your great service.

Honesty and Integrity, and just a really nice bloke!

Michael quickly earned our trust and respect, and used his knowledge and experience to ably guide us through the selling process. Click to read more...

This is the third time we have dealt with Michael to buy or sell a home, and it has once again been a positive and relatively stress free experience. Michael (and his business partner Franco) are honest and down-to-earth people who take pride in getting to know their clients and buyers alike, and genuinely try to achieve the best outcomes for both parties.

Michael is very positive and engaging and always kept us up to date with what was happening. He was willing to answer any questions, and never once did we feel pressured into any decision. Michael quickly earned our trust and respect, and used his knowledge and experience to ably guide us through the selling process.

I recommend Michael to anyone who appreciates an honest, hard working agent who takes pride in providing personalised service to achieve the best outcome for their clients.

Amazing Mel

Mel turned up this morning I was immediately blown away with how lovely and kind he was. He was thorough and professional yet his warm nature really shone through. Click to read more...

Just felt compelled to write in and let you know how impressed I am with your handy gentleman Mel!

After years of renting we have seen many different types of handymen, with most leaving us with less than satisfactory work.

Needless to say when Mel turned up this morning I was immediately blown away with how lovely and kind he was. He was thorough and professional yet his warm nature really shone through.

He took time and care with each item, and went through his jobs with a fine tooth comb. This sort of attention is unfortunately lacking these days. It was refreshing to see someone care enough to take pride and effort even in a small job like a hinge on a door.

It shows wonderful work ethic and that coupled with his sunny disposition makes Mel a sparkling gem amongst his peers.

We are really grateful to you for having a wonderful team . Being professional AND kind is such a rarity with many businesses not really understanding both can be achieved. Sue embodies this fully. She is professional and hardworking while always maintaining her ethics kindness and compassion.

I was just taken off guard by Mel! He is the same.

As I said earlier a rarity. What a blessing to know you are all head and shoulders above the rest.

Glad we are in good hands. Especially mum who has been a renter for 40 years !

To all your team at VZ have a lovely day and thank you

Testimonial for VZ Real Estate

From the first introduction, Michael, Franco and the VZ team were professional, knowledgeable, courteous and friendly. This high level of service continued through the full sale process, right to settlement day.

We always felt that the VZ Team were engaging with us with honesty and attentiveness which convinced us that our potential buyers were having similarly positive experiences. This approach facilitated a great result for us and ensured a pleasurable selling experience.

We would encourage anyone considering selling or buying a property to contact VZ and talk to Michael, Franco or one of the team to see how they can help. We look forward to engaging Michael, Franco and the team again in the future.

Best Wishes

Dear Michael and Franco,

We would like to thank you and your team for the prompt sale of our home at The Gap, being “senior citizens” we were a bit apprehensive about the sale.

Your company was recommended to us by an associate who had also the pleasure of dealing with yourselves. At all times you kept us advised of inspections, and our sale was effected in less than a month of listing.

Many thanks for the great service you provided to us, we would not hesitate to recommend your company.

Yours sincerely

Hi

Franco and the whole team at VZ Real Estate are awesome.

My family and I were in the process of moving interstate and were looking for a place in Brisbane. During the course of searching for our new home, we met a lot of different real estate agents who were all nice and helpful. None of them however, came close to offering the genuine, friendly and invaluable advice and support that Franco did. When we inspected the property, there was never a hard sell or the usual “I’ve had lots of offers on this place, this baby is going to go soon if you don’t put in a big offer”. It was more like being shown through a home by your best friend.

Once we had put in our offer that was accepted, Franco continued to help us through the entire buying process and was always available for a chat no matter what the time or circumstance. He even talked to my 2 year old son mid tantrum when he grabbed the phone off me! What a guy!

I really can’t speak highly enough of Franco and the team at VZ. Thank-you so much for helping us find our dream family home. We love our new home and know we will be very happy in it 🙂

Kind regards,

Trent, Leanne, Max and Jake

Dear Michael

I really appreciated my interactions with you and Franco throughout the whole process from the initial contact, the sale process and after the sale.

I was so pleased that you also follow the Jenman System. You both treated me as a person and not just a source of business. I felt, as a person that my needs mattered to you more than any sale.

Thank you so much for your helpfulness, consideration and support, I feel I have got to know and appreciate you both at a level deeper than just a business acquaintance.

Thanks again! I will certainly be telling other people about you and I wish you both best wishes for your business and your own lives.

I will let you know when I am ready to have you both around for a cuppa.
